Bimal Bose (1918–1996) was an Indian first-class cricketer. He is recorded among Indian cricketers of the mid-twentieth century, a period during which domestic cricket in India was organised primarily around the Ranji Trophy and other regional tournaments under the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

Bose belonged to a generation of Indian cricketers whose careers spanned the late colonial and early post-Independence era. Indian first-class cricket in this period was dominated by the Ranji Trophy, which had been instituted in 1934 as the country's premier inter-regional competition. Players from this generation typically represented provincial or state associations affiliated to the BCCI.
While detailed match records of Bose's career are limited in widely available sources, his inclusion in the broader register of Indian first-class cricketers reflects the gradual expansion of the domestic game in India during the 1930s and 1940s, a phase that produced the talent base from which India's early Test sides were drawn following the country's debut in Test cricket in 1932.
